Yesterday was another good day to be on the water. Nymphing worked well early and the hatches came in the afternoon. Hendricksons, blue quills, and quill gordons were on the water with some blue wing olives. The wind made it challenging at times but things paid off for the people who were patient. We’ll have wind again today but the rain totals will be negligible. The river flow are dropping. The East, West, and Mainstem are still better from a boat but we’re close to some wade opportunities. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are at great levels.
Today will be 55 degrees with a few showers early then cloudy skies in the afternoon. Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.
Our friend Diane is raising money for one of our favorite events Paint the Delaware Pink — which we host here at the DRC each September. Please consider donating and supporting an amazing program that uses fly fishing as a recovery tool for breast cancer.
